Aaron Conklin '19 Recruiting Profile

When I started playing soccer, I had one coach who really made me hunger for the game. He made me test myself through athletics and making myself the best person I can be on and off the field. His name is Billy Cole. He taught me the values of being a great team player and being an even better student in my academics. I push myself every day in order to be the best I can and I know that is what colleges' need. On the team, I am always a leader (etc. leading warmups, encouraging on the field, and helping struggling teammates in academics). I am versatile in which I can play many different positions, as needed, but am more skilled at an outside back position. I have been playing a little over 3 years and I have improved tremendously over this time by training constantly and getting as many touches on the ball that I can. In my academics, I have a 4.1 GPA and am ranked 19/54. I have a desire to play anywhere that has a great academic program for chemistry and also a great athletics program. I know for a fact that whatever school I go to I will bring positivity to the team and to the school's atmosphere and will always work my best to achieve my goals of being on a college team and going further.
